I think I’ll call this commission “Turla Munchersss”!
Millions of years ago during the Miocene, somewhere off the Pacific coast of SA, a gigantic Purussaurus sp. cautiously passes by a titanic female Otodus megalodon, each with freshly caught sea turtles.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Here we see an Allosaurus meeting a rather unfortunate fate at the hands (or tails?) of a Stegosaur.

a REALLY cool paper was just posted that describes a new lagertätte from La Rioja Provence, Argentina: A extremophile microorganism site with 3d arthropod bits and plants in a Geothermal field. This site also produces large vertebrate material and sauropod nests. www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco...

Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖
Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

#Xenovenator is one of the first named dinosaurs of the year! Assigned by Rivera-Sylva et al (2026) to the troodontid lineage, it has oddly thickened frontals - creating a bulbous/domed forehead. Could this be a combat or display adaptation? It's remains from Coahuila, #Mexico date back ~73m years.

So how does Xenovenator compare with Yaverlandia @tetzoo.bsky.social ? No mention of it? @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social
